real estate blogs: Know Your Real Estate: Know Your School Districts
- 08/03/16 03:04 AM
91% of home buyers said school boundaries were important when searching for homes. One out of five home buyers would pay six to 10 percent above their budget for the right school. One out of 10 home buyers would go so far as to pay up to 20 percent more than what their budget afforded. Let this sink in for a second. These are understandable statistics when you consider that children who don’t graduate high school can expect an average annual income of $20,000. Another factor to consider is how crime rate and the quality of the school system go hand-in-hand. Both of these have … (1 comments)

- 04/01/11 11:49 AM
If you've clicked this link, obviously you want to give your opinion...and that's exactly what we want! Earlier this year, many of the local Southern California MLS boards merged, leaving us to make sense of their data (If you didn't know it already, there is no data normalization between MLS boards, making this task especially fun). RealtyTech has been working diligently to ensure our clients have the most accurate search results possible. We've also taken this time to update our current IDX search capabilities and layout. There is just one problem... we've had very little feedback from the truly proactive Realtors® out … (2 comments)

- 11/11/10 03:50 AM
Twitter can be a relatively easy way to create relationships with potential buyers or sellers to your real estate business.

Don't let that happen to you; don't be among the more than 50 percent of new users who quit Twitter within the first month of signing up.

real estate blogs: Using Twitter to Improve Traffic
- 11/04/10 05:21 AM
Twitter can be a real marketing dream for a real estate professional. Take the tale of the married couple (note: they aren't Realtors) who decided to quit their jobs and sell their home so that they could then travel the world for three years. They sold their home in the Pacific Northwest this past summer quickly -- in this down market -- and they believe part of the reason they did so is because they set their house up with its "own" Twitter account and then had the "house" tweet about itself. They blogged about it here. The gist of how … (9 comments)
